This is an election not a club. Concentrate on the candidates not their supporters.

We have to do both. I haven’t decided if i’m going to support Warren, or Bernie yet. That both have their pluses and minuses. It is important that Bernie supporters realize how many people they are turning off. I’m not going to let what they say or do determine how I vote. I don’t hold how they act against Bernie. However, everybody is not like me. I want more people supporting Bernie and Warren, because student loan forgiveness, healthcare, and a sensible economic agenda is at the top of my priorities, along with specific proposals to improve the condition of Black Americans. If Bernie supporters are turning off people that would support a decent amount of his agenda then that’s a problem that has to be called out.

You are just validating that flawed way of thinking. Call people who think like that out at least equally if not entirely instead.

I've been saying it from jump: Biden not winning this thing, stop crying about his poll numbers. He's tanking in multiple polls, he has no campaign infrastructure in Iowa/NH, and he's not doing well enough with young voters.

I think he will drop out after Nevada, ie after losing 4 straight contests. His best shot is in SC where there's a large black population but I think the black vote will shift after someone else becomes the front runner. The black vote basically floods to the front runner. When Kerry started winning primaries, he received the black vote. After Obama win Iowa, the black vote flocked to him. Wouldn't be stunned if Obama's camp leaks a story to the NYT/WaPo before SC about how Obama has spoken to Biden and told him it's over, to deflate his performance.

I mean Trump is the president so the bar for competency is low. I don't like Biden because of policy, this gaffe thing is not a good look but it doesn't override the real reason I don't want him to be the nominee.

Sanders better be prepared to tuck his shyt in...its gonna be a bumpy landing....

I don't care about national polls in an early primary. All they show is who has the most name ID. Yet even the total aggregate of national polls show Biden is shedding support.

What's more important is the early state polling. Iowa is notoriously hard to poll (because it's a caucus, not a primary) but Biden is falling while Warren surges.

A handful of times = gaffes

More than a handful at his age = likely senility

I’m not a fan Cory Booker but I wish his baby bond proposal would get more traction. Booker is really a poor candidate. In the two debates he didn’t even mention baby bonds once. I prefer baby bonds over ubi, although I wouldn’t want Booker’s version because it is watered down. We need Darrick Hamilton’s version

I actually really like the idea of baby bonds; however, there's an inherent problem with creating programs where none of its beneficiaries can vote. It will be the first thing cut in the budget when a conservative government comes into power. The Republicans have wanted to destroy social security for decades, but there are electoral consequences for going after elderly people's benefits (Florida and Arizona have large retirement communities).

I agree with your assessment. IMO it makes the most sense policy wise, but the politics is tough, because the payoff will be for the next generation.
